Women ' s Softball □ HE unexpected pleasures are i)ften the most rewardinjj, like taking a young, inexperienced team and winning the first Big Ten title of any women ' s team at lU. Coach Ann Lawyer ' s women ' s softball team accomplished just that. After finishing third in the tourney the past two years, the Hoosiers swept through the double elimination tournament undefeated and held defending champion Michigan State to four hits enroute to their 7-3 victory. The 1979 season opened with nine returning players and two highly regarded recruits. Freshman Donna Michalek, a high school ail-American from New York, was lU ' s leading pitcher, as she fired a four hitter against Michigan State in the Big Ten final. Linda Spagnolo, who alternated between first base and playing in the outfield, was nominated for the Pan-American tryouts. Atter an average spring road trip to Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, the Hoosiers opened their home schedule with a double-header shellacking of Purdue, 11-0 and 20-0. Straight victories followed over St. Louis, Western Illinois and Southern Illinois. A 6-0 defeat at the hands of Southeast Missouri State resulted in a second-place finish for lU at the Illinois State Invitational and was the Hoosiers ' only real blemish prior to the Big Ten tourney. Following the tourney, Lawver had to keep her team mentally prepared for the lAIAW State Tournament that was held at lU. A split with Ball State prior to the tournament brought the Hoosiers back down to earth and could have been a preview of the Indiana State Champion Championship that was held in early May. fQ By Mike Loyal 244
